Loose Women's Katie Price returns for first time in six months and reveals she was held at gunpoint in South Africa

Katie Price has returned to Loose Women for the first time in six months, and admitted that she was in a 'bad place'.

The TV personality appeared as a guest and was interviewed about her time since January. In March, Katie's rep told Digital Spy that she hadn't been on the show since she was busy shooting other projects.

Katie confirmed on the panel that she was in South Africa filming a new series, and revealed how she and her family were held at gunpoint by car hijackers there.

'Everyone thought it was to promote the show, but we were all held at gunpoint,' she explained. 'They were threatening to kill us.

'The police didn't know why they didn't kill us, because in South Africa, that's what they do.

'We're all having therapy for that. Even now, when I'm in the car, I think somebody's going to come up to the window.'

Katie also described how she was in a 'rut' for a period of time and referenced her break-up with Kieran Hayler.

'Do you know what, I've come so far since the last time I was here. I can't believe I was hiding it so well, how low I was, what a rut I was in,' she said.

'I've come such a long way... I don't even know where to begin. It's been really tough. I've got rid of a lot of people in my life around me. I've just come out of such a bad place.

'I just wasn't myself. I wasn't the happy me. I would want to drink things to block things out. I was in a relationship where I felt selfless, that I wasn't worth anything, that I felt worthless, that I was manipulated into a situation where I wasn't in control.'
